As one of the first such computers on the market, the device has a 1.2 GHz Marvell Kirkwood 6281 ARM-compatible CPU, a.k.a. Feroceon.
Man this Pokémon thing is crazy, how many Eevolutions are there?!

It is actually in demand by one big customer, the DoD. Amazon is pushing hard to get all its services IPv6 by EOY as of this year’s re:Invent. Something like 98% need to be in place for DoD contracts.
And they’re trying to force people over to IPv6 by charging them per public IPv4 address, so, hopefully that spurs the migration. Larger address counts/space is super useful.
While this is true, I feel like this tank misses a few things.
- not everyone replaces on this schedule. I still know people that go 2hrs or less on a phone. At the same point, I bought new, used, then passed down to my daughter,my iPhone 6 and she finally replaced it in 2022. It was still getting security updates. That’s 8 yrs. I’m not in a hurry to replace my iPhone 11, it’s still perfectly fine. My late 2013 MBP, still works well. (I replaced the battery once in 2020) I finally upgraded to an M2, but continue to use the 2013 for things at times.
People replace things too often imho. But to go with this theme, I used to do so as well… swapped my iPhone 3GS for a 4s and then the 6. I’d build a new desktop every 18-24 months near the late 90’s and 2000’s. Things were improving so fast in those times, it was worth it… but then things have stagnated. I don’t see a good reason to get a new iPhone, and while I love the M2, it’ll easily tide me over for 10 yrs. My wife still uses her Lenovo laptop from 2011. Cost is only part of the equation. Sure I don’t want to drop the coin, but also there’s really no big changes worth it to me.
I do miss my Nokia 3110 though. Stability and battery life were awesome. Those were simpler days.
Since the vast majority of homeowners aren’t doing so with cash, the total cost of a home is the price over the lifetime of the mortgage. I’d be fine with the higher interest rates if the base price of the home was lower, or vice versa. However, the houses have gone up in price AND the interest rates have gone up meaning that the total cost has risen substantially.
Some of this is due to scarcity caused by the 2008-9 recession, people couldn’t afford homes, so the amount of new construction dropped and the workforce adjusted. Meaning that now we’re behind a few million homes from what we should have built by now, and that scarcity is driving prices up. Combine that with the high interest rates causing people to want to hold on to what they have instead of moving (so they can avoid the interest rate and housing cost jump) means we have even less inventory that normally.
I’ll probably have to move for work soon, and I’m not looking forward to swapping my mostly paid off 4% home with a more expensive higher rate one in a different area.
I feel like 10-15 yrs ago, you’d be absolutely right here, but not now. Everyone I know, even less technical folks, keep it separate simply because they do that stuff on their phone instead.
I noticed that as well. Or any other expansion boards of the day. The odd peripherals is part of what made the retro stuff interesting!
Honestly, it’ll be 2100, so they could just keep incrementing… it won’t be two digits, but v100.2 would be fine and consistent. It’s y3k they need to watch out for.
Edit: though I guess then it’ll just be off… v1000.1 in 3000ad. Maybe we’ll just switch to stardate or something by then… or more likely be extinct.
I’ve got it running in a docker container on my Synology, but I’ve been experimenting with a Raspberry Pi 4… and to all those on here talking about how the Pi can’t transcode, you have to do some work to enable hardware transcoding. I went through a whole bunch, but here’s a summary someone else wrote up: https://www.reddit.com/r/jellyfin/comments/ei6ew6/rpi4_hardware_acceleration_guide/
It makes a huge difference. ffmpeg normally is like 8fps, with HW accel, it’s like 50+. It’s why I’m playing with it. Lower power draw and the Synology I’ve got it on now has no HW acceleration and is old and crusty.
Markdown has definitely replaced most of what I used wordpad for. Obsidian is nice, but I’ll also write markdown in vscode or even just vim. It all works and even when it’s not interpreted, it still looks readable. Plus since it’s all just text, easily converted, and widely supported, I don’t have to worry about format deprecation.
As a manager, I can tell you it’s not about management. None of us asked for return to office. In fact the vast majority of managers at my company have been pushing back hard, which is the only way we got a hybrid schedule. It really comes down to being all about real estate, local taxes, optics, C-levels stuck in the old ways of doing things and wanting to return to “the good old days”.
I don’t give a crap where my employees are working as long as they get shit done and can reply during business hours when shit hits the fan.
Honestly, no one should buy a Quest 3, or any other Quest for that matter… Meta doesn’t need any more money or tracking data. PS VR2, Vive Pro 2 or even the Valve Index would be better.
